Article Marketing will increase your traffic
The good news here is that you will have already done alot of the work when it comes to starting your article marketing, you will have already written articles for your website, so you can use those after Google has indexed them on your website (you need to be seen as the original author), write new ones, or even rewrite some and use those. How to articles are usually the most read on the internet, the ones where if they do x they’ll get y.
Follow the same rules as you would for SEO, use the targeted keyword/phrase as the title, mention it towards the top a little in the middle and towards the end. Use the useful but incomplete technique again to get people to visit your website.
Have a look at Ezine Articles to find out how other people put their articles together, make sure you look at the successful ones, you’ll see the amount of views that each article has had. You get a resource area at the bottom of the article and this will be the link to your website. Don’t send people to your products and services straight away though, send them to pages inside your site (deeplinking) or send them to your PDF put together from the first set of articles that you wrote, to build your email list. The idea is to get people to want to visit your website after they have finished reading.
Once you have a few articles written it’s time to distribute them.
There are many places available online that you can use to distribute your articles, the most popular places are websites like Ezine Articles, these articles show up in search results themselves and if this is the case and you have a link from there then this can only benefit your website. Once you have submitted to the top five by hand you can then use a service such as isnare to submit your article to hundreds of article directories all over the web. The reason we want to submit to the top five by hand is so we can carry out a fantastic technique that's worth the trouble.
***** Some SEOs might find this part slightly Grey ******
Google will find your links eventually, there is no doubt, but we want Google to find them asap so that we can get instant benefit. Once you have submitted your article, view it as it appears on one of the sites and click to view your accounts RSS feed, take that URL and then visit this website - www.rssmix.com
Try and mix this up as much as possible. When you are submitting articles, I don’t expect you to be submitting one at a time, be sure to have at least ten saved up for the five top article sites. So you’ll have ten articles on five sites. Be random and use RSS mix to aggregate two of your articles from two different sites. A good point to note here is that alot of the content that you will be putting on social sites also have RSS feeds, so you can use those to make the feed more random too.
Once you have put your own feeds through RSS Mix, you’ll have a brand new feed with all those feeds in it. Submit this feed to all the top RSS aggregators to make sure that Google knows you are there.
